Welcome, I am Glenn Shroads; I am the Alfalfa County Area CoordinatorHelp me to make this one of the most informative sites on the internet.

If you have information on cemeteries, or would like to volunteer to photograph or transcribe a cemetery, please e-mail area coordinator.

A special "thanks" is due to my spouse, Verna Lea (Hutcheson) Shroads for accompanying me on photo trips, digging out, brushing off, chalking markers to make them readable.

Another special "thanks" is due to Loleta Leslie, Chairperson of the Cherokee Strip Volunteer Leage, who's given us permission to use the information in their book, "Alfalfa County Oklahoma Cemeteries".
